Biochem/physiol Actions
High density lipoprotein (HDL) serves as the transit agent for cholesterol away from blood, tissues, and organs of the body to the liver, where cholesterol breakdown occurs. This process ultimately helps to remove cholesterol from the arteries. Colloquially known as the "good cholesterol", HDL makes up 20%-30% of the total cholesterol in the body.
HDL is used in cardiovascular research and the development of potential therapeutic approaches to cardiovascular risk management.

Reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels has been associated with a 25-30% reduction in cardiovascular disease risk. However, there still remains a significant and quantifiable risk. Since epidemiologic data have demonstrated that low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)

The composition and properties of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and apoA-II in high-density lipoproteins (HDL) might be critical to SARS-CoV-2 infection via SR-BI and antiviral activity against COVID-19. HDL containing native apoA-I showed potent antiviral activity, while HDL containing glycated apoA-I

Most clinicians recognize the importance of reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and, therefore, address this therapeutic need to decrease cardiovascular disease risk. In addition to the critical role that LDL-C plays, recent studies have shown the contribution of other lipid
